Does what it's supposed to; namely, even heat backing, with easy clean-up.
Wife cooks, I clean, so I can attest to the easy clean up.
Pricey, but should last a life-time.

Designed for everything from Grandma's special roast to the holiday turkey, this large-size baking pan and rotisserie combo offers a useful addition to any cookware collection. The unit, which measures 16 by 13 by 3 inches, provides a spacious interior and a convenient depth that neatly contains juices and marinades, plus it comes with a rotisserie rack with side handles for safely lowering the bird into the pan. Two four-pronged turkey forks are also included for turning and transporting. The cookware features 18/10 stainless-steel construction with a beautiful mirror-polished exterior and a nonstick interior that helps ensure effortless food release and quick cleanup. Even more, its All-Clad signature riveted handles promote a secure grip and safe transport in and out of the oven--though oven mitts should be used as the handles will heat up. When finished, the baking pan and accessories clean up easily by hand, and the cookware carries a limited lifetime warranty.

All-Clad Stainless French Oven Review

Because I am an All-Clad fan, and I own and use more All-Clad pieces than I really can afford, I feel like a traitor as I begin to write this. I wish I could return-for-refund my copy of this very pricey All-Clad "French Oven" (not purchased from amazon.com). For my needs, my two Le Creuset oval ovens and one Le Creuset round "buffet casserole" do the (French / Dutch) "oven" thing better, cheaper, and more beautifully. Cast iron, although not as physically tough as stainless steel, really does hold the heat much better, plus it works with induction, just in case you have induction (I do not) and you need to use the "oven" on the stove-top; this All-Clad oven bottom is non-magnetic. Le Creuset uses cast iron for the cover as well as for the bottom, unlike this All-Clad piece, which has the plain stainless steel (non-clad) cover, which I think compromises the "oven" concept of all-encompassing uniform heat. My All-Clad oven's wire rack (a plus over Le Creuset, which has none) is totally flat, and it hugs the rounded contours so snugly that the little bent-wire legs do not even touch the bottom of the pan, so the rack is not totally stable. A bed of mirepoix or potatos or such vegetables would perform better than this rack unless you are going for enclosed dry roasting of poultry, which really needs a non-flat rack, one that can hold the bird in the desired position. This oven's bottom pan is too deep to double as a roasting pan unless you can find a V-rack that will properly fit this pan. Also without its cover, the pan likely could be used for baking lasagna, but I think that the top of the food would be too far below the top of the pan for proper browning. Now, it is just barely possible that I somehow am not getting the point of this All-Clad "French Oven". (I understand All-Clad's attractive "Dutch Oven" OK, but cast iron really is the more appropriate material for the task.) In any case, I am hoping that someone from All-Clad will read this, take pity on me, and wave their magic wand, absolving me of my treachery, and take back their piece so that I then can put that money into other All-Clad items that I (really, truly do) need.

This larger, heavier version of the traditional Dutch Oven, cooks Moussaka, stews, pot roasts, or any one-pot meals that require long cooking times. You have the option of browning on the stovetop and roasting or simmering to follow.

I also own its big brother and both pans work extremely well. Efficient, even heating. Upright handles make the pan easier to lift. Solid, heavy contruction. I like going from oven to stove top for making gravy. Easy to clean (dishwasher safe).
Worth the price for All Clad quality and the perfect roasted bird.
Update 1/7/07: This pan does not work on induction cooktops

It's kind of like buying your first sofa; purchasing a real roasting pan (tin foil ones from the grocery store don't count) is a marker for adulthood. Don't trust those special occasions and holiday gatherings to inferior cookware. After all you're not just making good food, you're making memories. This superbly crafted roaster comes with a non-stick roasting rack. Now all you need is the bird or roast!

All-Clad Stainless Roti Pan Combo Review

I have wanted this roasting pan for years now. It was the number one rated roasting pan by Cooks Illustrated magazine a few years ago, and it went on my list of "someday I will buy this". What scared me off for so long was the price tag . . . (all that money) for a roasting pan!
Well, when this offer came about with the roasting pan, rack and oven mits for (less money), I knew the time had come.
My test came with Thanksgiving. I roasted the big old 20 lb. turkey with the kit. Now, as far as the turkey is concerned, I guess any roasting pan and rack would be fine to make a decent bird. The high quality pan comes into focus in two key areas: safety and gravy.
Safety: This pan is very heavy duty, the bird won't tip the pan when you reposition it to brown all sides.
Gravy: The aluminum core conducts heat so well that my reduction produced probably the finest gravy I have ever made.
The oven mits are not the greatest, there are better ones out there, but the roasting rack is pretty good, I didn't pre-grease it and the bird still did not stick. I would have preferred a roasting rack that keeps the bird a little higher off the bottom of the pan though.
The other item that made this a 4 star rather than a 5 star review is the handles. They get in the way when trying to pull out a large turkey, and my husband burned himself.
If great taste is important to you, and you are a good cook who will use a roasting pan a lot, I think you will be very happy with this product.
